I modified the ingredient amounts of a crepe recipe that I found in a French recipe book.

If you add the milk in gradually rather than all at once, it will help prevent lumps from forming. Also make sure to only add the butter a little at a time too! Recipe by BUNNYMOM

Ingredients

20 servings
  1. 800 mlBread (strong) flour
  2. 4 tbspSugar
  3. 1 tspSalt
  4. 800 mlMilk
  5. 4 tbspMelted butter (or margarine)
  6. 4Eggs

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine the flour, sugar and salt in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Add 300 ml milk and the eggs and mix well until no longer lumpy.

  3. 3

    The resulting mixture should be quite thick and sticky.

  4. 4

    Add the rest of the milk 100 ml at a time, mixing it in thoroughly each time.

  5. 5

    Melt the butter in a microwave and drizzle it into the mixture while stirring. If you strain the mixture once before adding the butter, it will turn out even better.

  6. 6

    Cover the batter in cling film and leave it to sit for 30 minutes. I tend to leave it overnight if I can.

  7. 7

    Grease a frying pan or an electric griddle with a very thin layer of oil and cook the crepes on low-medium heat. When the edges have browned a bit and are coming up from the pan, flip the crepe over and cook it for a further 5 seconds before transferring it to a plate.

  8. 8

    Chill the crepes well and eat them for dessert!
